Title: Mountsberg Reservoir - "Swallowville"
Post by: rcflier on April 23, 2012, 07:28:51 PM

Tree Swallows at Mountsberg - they have a "community" at Mountsberg called Swallowville - about 50 swallow houses.  Can those little critters fly!!

We enjoy Swallowville.  The Tree Swallows put on quite the show.

Around the barn is fun to watch the Barn Swallows and Cliff Swallows too.  Closest I have been to a Cliff Swallow is at Mountsberg.  Much better than viewing them way up the underside of a bridge in Riverwood.

You can also get very close Cliff Swallows at Bronte Marina and Rouge Beach.
